Thousands take to Riverland Field Days

An estimated 15,000 people passed through the gates at last week's Riverland Field Days in Loxton in south-eastern South Australia.

Field days' president John Plush says despite being down on last year's numbers, the result was pleasing.

Mr Plush says people came from all over the state, particularly the Mallee and Sunraysia regions, with everyone providing support.

"I thought they were remarkably successful that everyone has heard about the downturn in the Riverland industry and economy at the moment, but our exhibitors supported us wonderfully and the general public coming through the gate," he said.
